Bohannon led County Championship Division One run-scoring charts last summer with 1257 at an average of 59.85 with four centuries. He will be captaining a 15-member England Lions squad, who will be playing four red-ball multi-day matches in Ahmedabad across January and February 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The squad also includes young batter James Rew, who struck five centuries among 1086 runs for Somerset in the last County Championship season, which earned him the PCA Young Player of the Year award. Keaton Jennings, who has a Test century in India against his name, opener Alex Lees and fast-bowler Matt Potts are also included in England Lions touring party.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The England Lions team will be based in Ahmedabad for the whole tour and are scheduled to play India A in three four-day matches at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The tour begins with a two-day warm-up match against India A.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cPlaying a series in India at any level is a challenge to get excited about, it\u2019s one of the truest tests for any cricketer. It\u2019s great that our Lions team can experience that challenge and have the opportunity to showcase their skills in those conditions.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe squad has a strong core of players in it that were out in Abu Dhabi recently for the training camp, with some of those players already selected into the Test squad. There\u2019s also a return for some more experienced players which aligns with supporting England\u2019s more immediate needs,\u201d said Mo Bobat, England Men\u2019s Performance Director.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
